Below are some of the UFC legend’s fighter’s tweets, mentioning he was pulled over and broke his nine-month reign of sobriety (the tweets have been deleted, so props to MMA Junkie for the transcriptions):

Bonnar later admitted during Sunday afternoon that this was an “April Fool’s Joke,” and that his run-in with the police was in fact a true story from college.

I’m not sure what’s worse: giving us a rundown of how you beat the cops during your wasted youth at Purdue University in 1998, or joking about a pretty serious matter that takes the lives of innocent people every day.

At this point in his career, it’s not exactly the time to make funnies coming off a loss to the most injury-prone fighter in the universe, more or less wasting a golden opportunity to stay relevant. Did someone tell Bonnar that we drank a boatload of alcohol while watching his main event fight this past November, and that sometimes, substances don’t solve all your problems?
